Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup Coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons Curry powder
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine coconut cream, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Place the chicken drumsticks in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the drumsticks, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for optimal flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, then brown the drumsticks on all sides for about 6-8 minutes.
Once browned, transfer the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the keto curry chicken drumsticks with a side of your favorite low-carb vegetables or cauliflower rice.
